50 MILES FOR THEIR SMILES
50 miles for their smiles is a project that promotes the culture and values of Ridgetop Elementary School, a Dual Language school in Austin.
This campaign will be launched on April 30th (Mexico's Children´s Day) and will finish during Field Day on May 15th, when I will attempt to run 50 miles in less than 8 hours around my apartment complex.
The goal is to collect funds for these wonderful kids to support their educational needs.
Students will be different next year, and we will need lots of resources to aid their self regulation and whole child learning. I am asking for your support during these critical times to help the most valuable assets of this planet: the kids!
As a former educator, I can’t tell you how much I spent out of pocket on my students each year. It is sad when you are required to provide a first class education but your district tells you there is no copy paper for you or other supplies including textbooks. I’m not even entitled to receive full Social Security benefits (that I was forced to pay into because it’s the law) because I’m told I was a teacher and get a pension. Teachers are so undervalued
I gave because the children is our future...
